  • Title: [Modular way of sampling for determination of the degree of occupational exposure at industrial plants with periodically changing dust concentration].
    Author: Rabenda A.
    Journal: Med Pr; 1979; 30(6):431-7. PubMed ID: 545095.
    Abstract:
    A work station with dustiness changing periodically during a workshift is one of the most common types of work stations, as regards exposure dynamics. Cyclic significant concentrations of dust occurring from time to time result from a specific technological treatment used. The measuring module will be the time of measurement, starting with the beginning of the cycle of working out a given detail or--the technological process through the whole treating and technological process as well as breaks--due to various reasons--until starting another, analogous operation. What was found is that average dust concentrations obtained from modular measurements correspond to average concentration to which an employee is exposed during the whole workshift. Modular measurements allow to reconstruct work conditions inducing silicosis, and may be helpful in settling the maximum allowable concentration.
